How the numbers for Deportes Santa Cruz v Rangers de Talca are calculated
Every figure on this page comes from the steps below – nothing is adjusted by hand.
Expected goals (λ)
Ratings fitted to league results (24 and 26 matches). 1.00 = average attack or defence.

| Rangers de Talca (away) | 1.04 | 0.88 | 0.99 | 0.90 |
λhome = μhome × Atthome × Defaway = 1.50 × 0.77 × 1.11 ≈ 1.28
